  1. Does anyone have an idea of the most efficient and expedient way to deflect, redirect, or slow an impending asteroid impact? Obviously, if it is a solid block of metal or rock, just hitting it with a large mass going at a fast enough speed, may change its' velocity enough. Here's my idea I haven't heard about yet. Since asteroids can be a solid block of metal, or rock, or a fragile rubble pile or fluff, or anything in between, catch it with a giant net. Launch a rocket towards the asteroid, and at the correct moment the rocket turns around and decelerates to zero, then accelerates the opposite direction to match the velocity of the asteroid. Then the rocket launches 4 separate rockets, each pulling the corner of a giant, square, cable net. The rockets decelerate the asteroid enough, so it won't hit earth.
  2. This is from your source: "Jupiter’s equatorial field, at 4.3 gauss, is more than 20 times stronger than Saturn’s. If one represents Saturn’s magnetic field as produced by a simple current loop with a specified magnetic moment, then that magnetic moment is about 600 times Earth’s, whereas Jupiter’s magnetic moment is 20,000 times Earth’s." Can anyone explain what a "magnetic moment" is? There is an inconsistency. Your article says Jupiter's field is more than 20 times stronger than Saturn's, but it also says that Saturn's is 600 times Earth's, whereas Jupiter's is 20,000 times Earth's. 20,000/600 = 33 times stronger at Jupiter than at Saturn. So I suppose 33 is more than 20 times? What is more accurate?
  3. Every planet and moon in our solar system is strange in its' own unique way. Every world, even every asteroid, is VERY different from all the others. Titan is a freak, like all the others. What about Jupiter's powerful magnetic field is 34 times as strong as Saturn's? "Jupiter's magnetic field is...about 20,000 times stronger than Earth's." "Saturn's...is...about 580 times stronger than Earth's...." -ChatGPT
  4. I asked your question of ChatGPT and here is what it said: "Planetary history, including factors like past impacts, volcanic activity, and geological processes, can affect a moon's ability to maintain an atmosphere. Titan has a complex geological history, including processes like cryovolcanism, which can release gases and contribute to atmospheric density. Jupiter's moons have different geological histories and processes that have led to their current atmospheric compositions and densities. While Titan's dense atmosphere is influenced by factors like its distance from the Sun, composition, and geological processes, Jupiter's moons have different characteristics that result in thinner atmospheres. Each moon's unique combination of factors determines its atmospheric properties."
  5. Thanks for posting this! Now I can post a few Bible verses I compiled that make Trump look like an Antichrist. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck, errr an Antichrist! ANTICHRIST: He is called “the little horn.” – Daniel 7:8 The word “Trump” appears twice in the KJV bible as an abbreviation of “trumpet” or “little horn.” The little horn has “the eyes of a man and boasts great things.” He will come in his own name and be accepted - John 5:43 He has the mouth of a lion – Rev. 13:2 He is arrogant, shall exalt himself above others – Daniel 8:25 He is extremely boastful with a “mouth speaking great things” – Daniel 7:8 He will throw truth to the ground. – Daniel 8:12 (30,000 false or misleading statements while in office.) He will deny the Father and the Son - 1 John 2:22 He said he does not seek God the Father's forgiveness, thus denying the need for God the Son as savior. (BTW: God the Father wanted his Son to suffer and die to please HIMSELF! That is what a sacrifice is for, to please God the Father.) He will be a vile person – Daniel 11:21 He will honor the God of Forces, and "a god his father knew not, he shall honor with gold, silver, precious stones, and other pleasant things.” – Daniel 11:38 He is connected to gold – Rev. 13:18 King Solomon became obsessed with gold and pagan gods during his later years. Trump’s obsession with gold and “pleasant things” is comparable to King Solomon He will have a “covenant with many for one week” – Daniel 9:27 He will disguise himself as an “angel of light” – 2 Corinthians 11:15 He masquerades as a force for good, and defender of Christian values, but in reality, defending only HIMSELF. He is named “the Lawless One” – 2 Thessalonians 2:8 Trump considers himself to be above the law or a law unto himself. There are many examples of him skirting the law and able to avoid repercussions. He said “I have the right to do ANYTHING I want as president, but I don’t even talk about that." HE DID TALK ABOUT THAT! He does as he pleases – Daniel 11:36 “Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and boast against every god, and will speak dreadful things against the God of gods; and he will be successful until the indignation is finished” – Daniel 11:36 NASB He “shoots from the lip” not caring if he’s politically correct, or who he might be insulting, or even if what he says is true. He works deceitfully – Daniel 11:23 “He shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up and shall become strong with a small people” and “Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under His rule” Trumps deceptiveness was so pervasive that even his own attorneys testified they would only meet with him in pairs to prevent him from give them 2 different versions of the same story. He understands dark sentences or sinister schemes – Daniel 8:23 “A king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up” He is a master of intrigue and machination, which is scheming or crafty action, to accomplish an evil end. He attains the kingdom by flattery – Daniel 11:21 “And in His estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom: but He shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries or smoothness, slipperiness, or fine promises (e.g. Mexico will pay for the wall). Scheming with a small group of people, American Nationalism, or Christian Nationalism, serves Trump in his quest to regain power to use as retribution upon his enemies. He will amaze the world – Rev. 13:3 He steals headlines daily, by one outrageous comment after another He will succeed in all that he does – Daniel 8:24 “His power will be great, but it will not be His own. He will cause terrible destruction [Covid mismanagement] and succeed in whatever He does [The Apprentice]. He will destroy the mighty men along with the holy people.” Trump has attained everything he wanted through devious means. The world considers him a great success. He will never stop until he regains power and takes revenge on his enemies. I remember a quote that said that if a man rapes a woman, it's ok, all he needs to do is pay off the father and marry the girl, and take care of her for the rest of her life!
  6. Interesting question. I asked ChatGPT and here is what they say: "The moons of Jupiter have much thinner atmospheres or no significant atmosphere at all due to factors such as their smaller sizes, weaker gravitational fields, and closer proximity to Jupiter, which subjects them to intense radiation and tidal forces. These factors prevent them from retaining substantial atmospheres like Titan."
  7. Why does Titan have such a dense atmosphere? Google says: Abundant Nitrogen: Titan’s lower atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (about 94.2%), which contributes significantly to its density 1. Nitrogen molecules are relatively heavy and tend to remain close to the moon’s surface due to its gravity. Methane and Hydrogen: Alongside nitrogen, Titan’s atmosphere contains methane (approximately 5.65%) and a trace amount of hydrogen (about 0.099%) 1. The extreme cold temperatures on Titan allow gaseous methane to exist in the atmosphere while liquid methane pools on the surface 1. Retaining Atmosphere: Titan’s gravity is strong enough to retain its atmosphere more effectively compared to other moons in our solar system 2. Unlike our Moon, which lacks a substantial atmosphere, Titan’s colder conditions help slow down gas molecules, making it easier for the moon to hold onto its gases 3. Heat Liberation: Over time, heat from infalling objects and the decay of radioactive elements within Titan’s rocks liberated much of the trapped gas, creating the dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere we observe today 4.
  8. What caused the bridge disaster? The fact that a SINGLE support was so vulnerable to large container ships. After giant container ships started going under that bridge, they should have built up a concrete island around the single support so that if a ship crashes into the support, it will crash into concrete surrounding the single support. Pile up concrete blocks all around the single support, and pour concrete on top of it so there is a smooth, gentle slope, that will stop the giant ship before it can reach that single support. Thank you. Great, you noticed the structural deficiency. No mention in ANY news about this that I've heard. I posted before I read what you wrote. Thank you.
  9. Ok then, skip the burning part. Just starve them out. Japan has always been a resource-poor nation. Everything needed to be imported. How long could they endure living without everything they need and cannibalism? If hindsight is 20/20, then the A bomb did not need to be used to force Japan to surrender. And the US could have stalled world progress towards nuclear bombs, such as cutting off the supply of uranium to other nations. Most nations would wonder "Why is the US buying up the world's supply of uranium?
  10. Thanks! That is the best explanation why the expansion of space is not comparable to an explosion. My favorite question is, what is the probability that the big bang expansion we can see, within a diameter of under 100 billion light-years, is likely to extend to infinity, assuming a flat, totally non-curved, space? I would bet on a zero probability.
  11. ALL the polls show Trump beating Biden in 2024, however a close race. Get ready for a Trump presidency. 😟 2024 Presidential Election Polls: Biden vs. Trump - 270toWin
  12. So, what you are saying is that the Soviet spies, who were inside the Manhattan Project, took such good notes that they were able to spread the word to their own country but also spread it to the world, even to Pakistan and N. Korea? Pakistan and N. Korea were able to skip a Manhattan Project because they knew so much about the US Manhattan Project? Japan was totally cut off from all supplies by US submarines and air force. Japan would grind to a halt within a few more months. The US had plenty of incendiary bombs and B29s to systematically reduce Japan to totally helpless and starving. There would never be a need for the US to attack Japan with amphibious landings and therefore no 1,000,000 dead US soldiers. All the US would lose is a few more B29s. What is sad? My own naivete that the US could stifle any progress world-wide towards other nations rediscovering what the US had discovered in the Manhattan Project? Please excuse my naivete, since I am not a science expert. Are experts the only ones who are allowed to post here? Well please excuse me for not being a science expert.
  13. So that means the US did so much work, and spent so much money, to prove the bomb was possible, but once the word gets out how to build it, even a poor country could build one.
  14. Very interesting. I like your explanation. Then you said that "something" maybe some kind of sub-nuclear particles possessed the energy. Let's work backwards. Now we have matter. Before that, matter was in the form of energy, sub-nuclear particles possessed energy, and we don't know what was between that and the start of the big bang. Right?
